I true slap in the face of a needing humankind... -or should I say a stake in the heart? judging by its shape-.
How many anti-cancer research centers, particule accelerators or elementary schools could have been built with such a budget?!?!?
Instead, billions have been wasted to satisfy -as it was ever possible- the vicious vanity and shameless greed of bored leaders.
Shame on us, humans!
Wonder what the comparison would be if you built the same accomodation and facilities across 1 storey high? In a country where there must be acres of (desert) space it sounds incredibly logical to build it all into a tower....that makes it twice more vain...dont these guys have anything better to do with their (now lack of) money?
Yawn...! Where is the marvel? I hope people realise by now how easy the technology of building tall actually is. A question not just for this structure but all the other thin glass buildings in hot climates and indeed cold climates is: how do you justify the waste? A building should only be as tall as a floor can be reasonably reached by steps. This should put the absolute maximum at around 12 storeys. During an emergency elevator systems shut down. I admire the bravery of those who would occupy the top floors.
Designed by infidels, built by infidels, Allah be praised.
Its sheer persion and egoism. Just think how many people right in Dubai are suffering for not getting their wages for months? May be many of their sweated for months and years to build the structure. Dubai itself is in a bankrupt situation but that was not a lesson for the rulers.
Fascinating observations on humankind's never-ending quest for longer and bigger which beg the age-old question: Does size matter?
It's meaningless
An engineering marvel indeed !But looking at your chart,the declining GDP versus the cost defrayed towards the marvel, it might some day be called the height of folly !!
An extraordinary huge White Elephant in the making, it is but another vain reflection of the mighty wealth of the hyper rich.
Hasn't its name been just changed to that of the new patron? And that speaks volume.
If you want the CN tower to be in the graph, apparently you will have to start living in the thing... From Wikipedia:
"The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, the organization that determines the title of the "World's Tallest Building", recognizes a building only if at least fifty percent of its height is made up of floor plates containing habitable floor area.[1] Structures that do not meet this criterion, such as the CN Tower, are defined as "towers"."
Actually, the tallest structure in the world before today was a TV transmission tower in Fargo. (Additionally, the CN Tower in Toronto should absolutely be included in this list, as someone has already noted.) But what is really funny is the way the building's name was changed at the last minute. Guess, the ruler of Abu Dhabi (Sheikh Khalifa) got a real sweet deal when he bailed out Dubai (yet again).
How could there possibly be ANY discussion about towers throughout this world without mentioning the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada?
This was the tallest free-standing structure in the entire world for over 30 years...
@ hmmmmmmm
Formally there are striking similarities between the Minaret of the Great Mosque of Samarra and Bruegel's various depictions of the Tower of Babel, indeed. So, one may be tempted to assume a connection between "original" and Bruegel's "copy". This connection, however, cannot be borne out by the historical facts.
Bruegel never traveled to anywhere near the region of Samarra, located in present day Iraq. So he didn't have any personal knowledge of the building. And there is no historical evidence either of any alternative sources - such as paintings or writings - available for getting him acquainted with the Samarra Mosque.
Based on the known facts therefore, it is quite unlikely that Bruegel modeled his Tower on the very obvious antetype.
Rather, it's generally accepted that Bruegel after visiting Rome in 1553 drew inspiration from the Roman Collosseum, which in his time was considered the epitome of human hubris and persecution, liberally using many of its defining architectural elements - for instance, its unique double arches - in his paintings.
Though, who can say for sure ...?
Call it the 'height' of narcissistic hubris or vanity-insanity, or ego-maniacal excess. But if one were to look at the Burj with a dispassionate & logical eye, one cannot help but realise, that the Dubai monstrosity was, conceived & created on the same irrationale logic as any of the other "towers of blatant profligacy", shown on your chart & beyond.
So what's so special, new or different, about this demented product of human folly!! After all, narcissisim, vanity/pride & hubris are the preferred, fashionable & venerated virtues(??) of today's arrogant capitalistic societies, around the world.
Before we start pointing fingers or spewing sarcasm at others, maybe we need to look in the mirror & see our hypocritical selves as we truly are, sans rose-tinted glasses..
To hmmmmmmm,
Tower of Babel preceded the Great Mosque of Samarra by 10 to 20 centuries! Islam was not founded until about 600 anno domino (CE) and therefore no Mosque could have been built till after Mohamed founded the religion of Islam.
I repeat my earlier description of Dubai: "Disneyworld on Steroids". The higher they fly the further they fall. This structure is aptly called the "toothpick".
Bygones are bygones, but maybe the owners still made money from their investments? Any facts on this?
the famous Brueghel depictions of the Tower of Babel is essentially a copy of Great Mosque of Samarra built 600 years before his time
"Look on my works, ye Mighty"
I doubt this'll last that long.
"a vigillant collector and a great fan of Sauron bought it and put it back together as a central piece of a Mordor theme park"
Might want to keep an eye on that guy. Before he builds a machine to destroy the sun or something.

If it seems odd that an album as bravado-filled, trash-talking, and schoolboy horny as this one comes with the title Battle of the Sexes, perhaps it can be explained as a leftover title from what was originally planned as a joint release from Ludacris and his DTP prot?g?, Shawnna. After the album's better half left the project -- along with the DTP family -- the title was never readjusted, and there are further confusing traces of the original concept, such as the "us vs. them" intro, which opens an album that's almost entirely "us." Still, quality control is less important than titillation when it comes to the porno-style album, and Battle of the Sexes delivers on that level. Redd Foxx-like ideas, such as making limbo instructions sound especially nasty ("How Low") or having fun with the Tiger Woods sex scandal ("Sexting"), are coupled with safe and slick beats from the likes of the Runners, Swizz Beatz, and the Legendary Traxster. Luda is inspired enough to drop at least one belly laugh-worthy punch line per track, while the numerous guests are, at worst, on point, and at best (that would be Nicki Minaj), on fire. The less-sexed "Everybody Drunk" barely fits into the mold, but it's still a party time highlight, and when you add the very R. Kelly-esque "Sex Room," plus Lil' Kim getting vicious on "Hey Ho," you've got more prime material than expected. The album is limited and a little patched together, but if cheap thrills are what you're after, this one puts the dirty back in the dirty south. ~ David Jeffries | |

Lindsey Graham: Premise of Rand Paul's filibuster is ridiculous
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Yesterday's filibuster by Sen. Rand Paul was all about a fairly simple question for the president: Is it constitutional to order a drone strike on an American citizen who is not an imminent threat on American soil without due process?
There was no response from the White House where a Nobel Peace Prize adorns a West Wing wall.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham — being a courtly southern gentlemen who doesn't believe in troubling the man who just bought him dinner — found Paul's entire premise outlandish:
"This idea that we're going to use a drone to attack an American citizen in a cafe in America is ridiculous."
Well, in that case it should be an easy question to answer, shouldn't it?
Graham, not unlike Eric Holder yesterday, insisted on focusing on likelihood rather than the constitutionality of the hypothetical scenario.
Graham also referred to Paul's filibuster as "paranoia between libertarians and the hard left that is unjustified." Aren't these the same people who always want to bring both sides together? In any case, Graham's off base. If Paul had come out and warned everybody against going into cafes because there's a good chance they'd end up as "domestic drone war on terror collateral damage" with no evidence anything like that was imminent, then Graham might have had a point, but that's not what happened. Paul merely posed a question — one that seems to have struck a nerve among the "just trust us, we know what's best" bunch in DC.
The Hermanator wasn't thrilled with Sen. Graham:
Lindsay Graham couldn't wait to try & crush the GOP momentum. He's reminding conservatives why he's such a problem bit.ly/VKE4cl
— Herman Cain (@THEHermanCain) March 7, 2013
John McCain agreed with Graham: "I don't think what happened yesterday was helpful to the American people." McCain didn't like it one bit.
Drudge does his stuff:
The White House and Holder did finally respond:
Attorney General Eric Holder wrote Sen. Rand Paul,R-Ky., to confirm that President Obama does not have the authority to kill an American on U.S. soil in a non-combat situation, Obama's spokesman announced today.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney quoted from the letter that Holder sent to Paul today. "Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on an American soil?" Holder wrote, per Carney. "The answer is no."

I'm looking for someone with whom I can form a good friendship & a connection, maybe meet for coffee a few times, and take it forward slowly from there. Humor is important to me, and I'm considered quite funny ( and sarcastic) by many of my friends, but I guess it depends on how comfortable I am with the person. more when we meet

Delegate Assembly
Delegates thanked for role in long budget fight
by Michael Hirsch | December 22, 2011 New York Teacher issue
"I can't thank you all enough," UFT President Michael Mulgrew told delegates at the Dec. 7 Delegate Assembly, of their role leading up to the state Legislature's Dec. 6 agreement that will make the state tax system more progressive and earmark $800 million of the new revenue for schools statewide.
"All of your work will guarantee that we will get a state funding increase for the children and schools of New York City," he said.
Mulgrew said UFT members were instrumental in shifting the public dialogue from cutting spending to creating a fair tax system that meets the state's needs.
The effort began last spring, he said, when the union gave office space and advice to community activists involved in the May 12 rally, many of whom went on to play a role in the Occupy Wall Street movement. UFT members continued to pound the message of economic fairness at rallies on Oct. 5, Nov. 17 and Dec. 1 and then with last-minute phone calls to key Senate Republicans, he said.

Mulgrew said that the UFT and its community partners concluded that changing the debate was critical in light of the yawning budget deficit facing the state.
"The national debate went from blaming bad teachers last year to blaming public employees to creating a deficit ceiling," he said. "So we pushed a simple message: Millionaires need to pay their fair share."
The union was able to persuade some upstate Republican senators to support tax reform, he said, "by telling them 'this budget will destroy your town.'"
Mulgrew gave credit to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for embracing the need for a fairer tax system that could generate much-needed revenue.
Now, Mulgrew said, the union has to shift its attention to Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"Once that additional $330 million in state revenue for New York City schools comes here, we have to watch the city very closely," he said. "The mayor will say the city has no money and will probably blame it on our pensions."
Mulgrew lamented that the Department of Education is not taking responsibility for providing meaningful curriculum to teachers. Instead, he said, principals are asking teachers to write curriculum on the fly.
Miller Photography
He urged chapter leaders to contact Vice President for Education Catalina Fortino at firstname.lastname@example.com if their principals are asking teachers to write curriculum during their regular workday.
"It's another piece of evidence that shows the DOE is not serious about educating children if they can't give teachers the basic instructional material to teach children," Mulgrew said.
Mulgrew said curriculum aligned with the new Common Core Learning Standards was vital.
"If we are going to make a meaningful difference in students' lives, we need real curriculum," he said. "These are the building blocks: real curriculum, real support for teachers. That's where we can make a difference and we are going to keep on pushing."

"I think it's great for baseball, continuing that tradition game after game, year after year. It's great for the fans. Even the players get a kick out of it. We look up. If they're [singing] bad? Oh, man. We're like the judges. It's good to let that tradition live on, to let Harry know he's remembered."
Brian Jordan
"That's my time of the year, ... I love the pressure. So I want to be there."
"A violation in your presence is not a personal affront, ... It's called taking police action."
"We've got to regroup at home. We've got to win our way out. Every game is important, so you've got to battle back."
"The thing about Bobby, ... is he doesn't panic. This year was one of his biggest tests as a manager in his career, with all these young guys. But he just stuck with them. And that's why we're in the situation we're in."
"I feel pretty good."
"You always want to feel better but I'm good. My thing is once you get to the playoffs, you do whatever it takes. You've got to lay it on the line."
"I need to get as many at-bats as I can get the next few games. The knee feels better than it has, and it's time to gut it out."
"He has to be more mature dealing with certain situations and dealing with his teammates. He's got to learn to control his anger."
"I see a different type of year than the Braves are used to. If you ask Bobby, it has to be one of the most challenging seasons in his whole career. Definitely different. To me, a Cinderella story."

For a series devoted to two-lane traffic, DP16 doesn't always stay the course. This isn't due to lack of heat, it's the videography. While nicely composed and given that faux-film look, the lens too often misses opportunities for tight closeups. You know – the nasty evidence that makes a d.p. worth shooting (and viewing) in the first place.
Otherwise everything's in order; at least the kind of ordered chaos such material creates. When it comes to upside-down/deep throat action, Oso and Wells run away with the prize. No dearth of headshots here as these two inhale yards of schlong. Both gals are fuckin? raucous! Oso prefers to have her pussy and asshole manually stretched, while Wells orgasmically blooms under a chokehold.

With its rapid expansion in recent years, the microfinance field is facing increased scrutiny due to reports of client over-indebtedness and questions as to whether organizations are fulfilling their social missions. In 2011, Asad Mahmood, Managing Director of Deutsche Bank's Global Social Investment Funds, convened the CEOs of eight major microfinance networks in order to facilitate discussion over the challenges facing the industry. The unprecedented meeting resulted in the formation of the Microfinance CEO Working Group, a collaborative group that includes international industry leaders from ACCION, FINCA, and Pro Mujer, among others.
The Group recently released a report, "Road Map for the Microfinance Industry: Focusing on Responsible and Client-Centered Microfinance," to address the pressing need for an improved sense of responsibility and to ensure the further development of client services and products. The report focuses on three existing initiatives: the Smart Campaign, which will institute standardized client protection plans; MicroFinance Transparency, which seeks to provide clients with detailed information on pricing; and the Social Performance Task Force, which is developing measurement tools for "social performance and mission fulfillment." These initiatives will help to ensure sustainable growth by promoting high standards and increased accountability.
The complete report, "Road Map for the Microfinance Industry: Focusing on Responsible and Client-Centered Microfinance," can be found here.

Several Practical Cases of Conscience
Resolved is a series of discourses answering questions
about sin, grace, faith, prayer, God's providence, and
the preparation for Christ's second coming. Published in 1721, this
series of short discourses was included amongst a collection of John
Owen's sermons. This style of discourse falls under the category of
study called casuistry, a system of resolving specific cases of morality
by appealing to general principles. For centuries casuistry was
considered a controversial area of study, and in the 15th and 16th
centuries it was denounced as "the art of quibbling with God." Owen was
admittedly aware of the dangers of casuistic thought. But he encourages
his readers not to devalue the practice of asking questions about the
duties we face as Christians. Indeed, though casuistry remains a
questionable method of inquiry, the questions Owen raises are central to
the Christian faith. Emmalon Davis CCEL Staff Writer

An innovative project to provide support for patients and carers facing the psychological changes that come after a stroke has proved a success.
The team, led by Neuropsychologist Dr Noelle Blake, developed a range of support systems to help people at every stage in their recovery
Department of Health Accelerating Stroke Improvement targets recommend that 40% of patients with stroke should receive screening for mood and cognitive difficulties and 95%should receive a review six months post discharge.
The project exceeded these targets by putting in place a comprehensive package of psychological interventions, commencing in the acute ward and continuing to work to support people on discharge into the community.
Actions included
· Introducing screening measures to assess mood and cognition
· Developing psychological education groups that were delivered in the acute hospital and in two community settings
· Signposting specialist referral to Neuropsychology when required
· Six monthly reviews that identified on-going needs.
Outcomes showed that 63% of all stroke patients were screened for mood and cognitive disorders, with 25% of all patients receiving additional specialist neuropsychological input. Nearly one third of all stroke patients and family members chose to attend our education groups.
There was also education on psychological care post stroke for professional staff.
Most importantly, feedback from service users was uniformly excellent, emphasising the value of timely, practical but sensitive advice and support about the psychological impact of stroke.
Comments included:
"It would have been useful to have this earlier in rehab"
"Helpful coping strategies"
"Very comforting to know there are lots of other services in the community and it doesn't stop on discharge"
"Good to have information talked through rather than just getting a leaflet"
"I'm glad you included problems for carers – you feel you need to be strong""
The Trust sees this pathway model as a way to encourage integrated working across the acute and community sectors, delivering quality care with effective use of time and professional resources and would welcome feedback and involvement from GPs.

Most airlines and booking engines sell packages that lump together airfare, hotel and sometimes meals, airport transfers and activities into one price. The vagueness of the combo approach favors airlines and hotels because it allows them to quickly fill up planes and rooms without announcing how low they're willing to go. Certainly, packages can be incredible deals, but occasionally they're not. To be sure, check DealBase.com, which will break down most packages and tally up the bill for each individual component of the "deal."
Travel is full of pitfalls. One wrong step and your vacation could be ruined by a seedy hotel room, an overpriced restaurant, a wasted afternoon at a tourist-trap attraction or an overnight flight crammed in the middle seat. So, guarantee a smooth trip by planning thoroughly. Here's how to make all the right moves.

Sick Computer and Sweet and Saltines
posted on: Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Well...it's a sad day over here at my house. My computer is doing something very funky and weird. It keeps configuring some sort of update 3 of 3. Makes no sense to you? Me neither. Praying.. just PRAYING that I can figure out how to fix it and that all of my pictures and videos will still be there when it all gets figured out. So, in the mean time I'm using Trav's computer. If you don't have your pictures and videos backed up somewhere.. DO IT!!! I'm kicking myself because that was on my to-do list and obviously it kept getting bumped back. I have most of my pictures downloaded to Walgreens...but none of my videos. Sad sad.
On to happier and more tasty things! My sister made these over Christmas while we were visiting and they are DELICIOUS and ADDICTING!!! I have seen the recipe all over blog-land. It has about a bajillion names. But the recipe/name that my sister used was from the April 2010 issue of Country Living. It is one of Tricia Yearwood's recipes.
Mama's Sweet and Saltines
40 saltine crackers (I used quite a few more...I used a huge cookie sheet)
2 sticks of unsalted butter (I used salted and it didn't make a difference)
1 cup light-brown sugar
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used the whole package)
Preheat oven at 425 degrees. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil and saltine crackers.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over crackers, covering them evenly. Put cookie sheet into oven and watch them closely. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until just bubbly. (I was a ding-dong and left them in a little long so the outer edges tasted a little bitter and burnt. As SOON as it starts to bubble I would take them out!)
Remove from oven and pour chocolate chips over crackers. When chips begin to melt, spread them over crackers with a knife. Transfer pan to freezer for about 20 minutes or until completly cooled. The chocolate-covered crackers will form a solid sheet. Break into pieces and store in an air-tight container.
Alrighty, off to bed. Have a great Wednesday everybody :)

Yum, I want to try these. I've had them, but never made them before. I hope you can get your pics. I have lost some before when Landree was little. Thank goodness my mom had a million pics of Landree and that we had her picture made every month or so. Even knowing that I don't back up as often as I should!

Are you having troubles getting Steam to boot up today? If so, the problem might not be with Valve's blockbuster gaming service; the issue could be your antivirus, instead. This weekend, the freebie Avast! antivirus misidentified a Steam component as a nasty little Trojan and sent the executable to the time-out box known as Quarantine as a result. The problem: SteamService.exe was a totally clean file, and Steam won't run without it.
Fortunately, the muck-up only lasted about an hour and a half, according to The Register. Avast! yanked the bonked definition around 90 minutes after it went live. While the goof shouldn't have happened in the first place, kudos to Avast! for fixing so quickly, and on the weekend to boot.
If you were affected, restoring the file from Quarantine might get Steam up and running again. However, several Steam users needed to reinstall the service, resubmit their verification code and reboot their PC to get Steam working normally again, and many warn that installing SteamService.exe again can be a lengthy process.
Where you affected by Avast's false positive? How easy was it for you to get Steam up and running again?

Pezizomycotina | |
Helvella crispa | |
Scientific classification | |
Domain: | Eukaryota |
Kingdom: | Fungi |
Division: | Ascomycota |
Subdivision: | Pezizomycotina |
Classes/Orders | |
Pezizomycotina contains the filamentous ascomycetes and is a subphylum of the Ascomycota (fungi which form their spores in a sac-like ascus). It is more or less synonymous with the older taxon Euascomycota.[1] These fungi reproduce by fission rather than budding and this subdivision includes almost all the ascus fungi which have fruiting bodies visible to the naked eye (exception: genus Neolecta which belongs to the Taphrinomycotina).
See the taxobox for a list of the classes which make up the Pezizomycotina. Note that the old class Loculoascomycetes (consisting of all the bitunicate Ascomycota) has been replaced by the two classes Eurotiomycetes and Dothideomycetes. The rest of the Pezizomycotina also include the previously defined hymenial groups Discomycetes (now Leotiomycetes) and Pyrenomycetes (Sordariomycetes).

This paper is concerned with the relation between the dynamics of a given Hamiltonian system with a given symmetry group and its reduced dynamics. We illustrate the process of visualization of reduced orbits using the double spherical pendulum. In this process of visualization, one sees certain patterns when the dynamics is viewed relative to rotating frames with certain critical angular velocities. By using the reduced dynamics, we also explain these patterns. We show that if the motion on the phase space reduced by a continuous symmetry group at a given momentum level is periodic, then there is a uniformly rotating frame, that is, a one-parameter group motion, relative to which the unreduced trajectory is periodic with the same period. If the continuous symmetry group of the system is Abelian, which corresponds to the system having cyclic variables, we derive an explicit expression for the required angular velocity in terms of the dynamic phase (an average of the mechanical connection) and the geometric phase (the holonomy of the mechanical connection). We show that one can also find such a frame if the reduced orbit is quasi-periodic and a KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) condition is satisfied The almost periodic case is also discussed. An important aspect of this procedure is how to use it in the presence of discrete symmetries. We show that, under appropriate conditions, the visualized orbit has, relative to a suitable uniformly rotating frame, the same temporal behavior and discrete symmetries as the reduced orbit. Since these spatio-temporal patterns are not apparent with repect to most frames, we call the phenomenon pattern evocation.

5 Tips for Getting into the Best Business Schools
If you've been following along, you're probably already familiar with the handy MBA application checklist we gave you a few weeks back. For you underclassmen out there, don't go thinking that your business school application days are so far ahead of you that you casually file those tips away and forget about them … until it's too late to really for you to affect your GPA, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, GMAT score, and more.
Applying for your MBA is a long-term process, and to be fully prepared, you need to start thinking early. Even if you are currently a freshman or a sophomore in college, you can begin taking steps toward becoming a competitive applicant and getting into the top MBA programs.
Here are five things that you need to start focusing on now. Doing so will help you build up the credentials you need to gain admission to … Read full post
MBA Admissions Myth: "I Have No Weaknesses!"
Most business schools will ask an applicant's recommenders to describe a weakness of yours, or a time when they offered you constructive feedback. You may face great temptation to ask your recommenders to avoid writing anything critical or to present a "disguised strength" as a weakness. Your recommender might write something like one of the following entirely disingenuous statements, believing that he/she is helping you, when in fact he/she is not:
- "John needs to learn to balance his work and home life better—he is always at work, making sure that he stays on top of every detail."
- "Mary is a perfectionist and holds others, who just may not be capable, to the same high standard that she holds herself."
Alternatively, a recommender who is afraid of hurting your candidacy may write about a "professional development" weakness, focusing on a business skill that you have not yet had the opportunity to … Read full post
MBA Admissions Myths Destroyed: I Can Write My Own Recommendation
Writing your own recommendation letters for your business school applications can seem like a blessing. Suddenly, you have the power to control an aspect of the application process that was previously beyond you. So, your downside risk in these letters is mitigated and your upside is infinite, right? Well, it does not quite work that way.
Admissions committees are not seeking blustery rave reviews, but are seeking recommendations that are detailed and personal, intimate and sincere. Can you really write about yourself with a dispassionate sincerity? And, even if you are a master of "dispassionate sincerity," are you able to capture the subtleties that enable you to standout? For example, let's say that among the many important things that you do, you also do something thoughtful, which you do not even perceive to be significant – you take new team members to lunch. While you regard "closing the big deal" … Read full post

A lot of areas again this morning are dealing with fog. Its not as widespread as the past two mornings and should dissipate fairly quickly, by 9am. Once it burns off, we'll see gradual clearing and a very warm day with sun and some clouds as high pressures builds in to the region through Wednesday. Temperatures are fairly warm this morning and did not drop much overnight.
Highs today will reach the 60-degree mark in the city and points south east, where some areas could be getting into the low 60's. Places north and west of the city will stay in the 50's. A light southwesterly breeze will help provide the warmer conditions. We'll see another warm day tomorrow before a cold front moved through the region on Wednesday.

Just think of the possibilities: Tug the bald cap on and you can be Patrick Stewart, Howie Mandel, or Dr. Phil in an instant. But make sure you're ready to fend off strangers hoping to rub your newly bald head for good luck.

There's no limit to the famous bald men you could portray with this nifty accessory! Think Paul Shaffer from the Late Show, Hulk Hogan, Pitbull, and Lord Voldemort. But wait! Some women go bald too. There's Amber Rose (wife to rapper Wiz Khalifa) and, of course, Sinead O'Connor. Even though she didn't go completely bald, people would still get the idea.

Several dozen Palestinian journalists took off their shoes Thursday in a protest in Bethlehem's Manger Square, to show support for the Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush earlier this week.
The journalist currently remains in Iraqi custody and could face two years in prison for insulting a foreign leader. A spokesman for Iraq's prime minister says Muntadhar al-Zeidi has apologized for throwing the shoes. In the Arab world, throwing shoes at someone is considered to be a sign of deep disrespect.
In Bethelehem, al-Zeidi's Palestinian colleagues waved Palestinian and Iraqi flags. They also held signs in English, reading "Bush deserved it."
The shoe toss triggered an outpouring of support for al-Zeidi.The TV station where he works repeatedly aired pleas Monday for his release, while airing footage of explosions and playing background music that denounced the U.S. in Iraq.
On Tuesday, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip held a rally in support of al-Zeidi, demanding his release and stepping on photos of Bush.

The effect of topography on the free surface and solvent concentration profiles of an evaporating thin film of liquid flowing down an inclined plane is considered. The liquid is assumed to be composed of a resin dissolved in a volatile solvent with the associated solvent concentration equation derived on the basis of the well-mixed approximation. The dynamics of the film is formulated as a lubrication approximation and the effect of a composition-dependent viscosity is included in the model. The resulting time-dependent, nonlinear, coupled set of governing equations is solved using a full approximation storage multigrid method.
The approach is first validated against a closed-form analytical solution for the case of a gravity-driven, evaporating thin film flowing down a flat substrate. Analysis of the results for a range of topography shapes reveal that although a full-width, spanwise topography such as a step-up or a step-down does not affect the composition of the film, the same is no longer true for the case of localized topography, such as a peak or a trough, for which clear nonuniformities of the solvent concentration profile can be observed in the wake of the topography.

Camarillo Wedding Venue
901 Sterling Hills Drive
Camarillo, California 93010
Contact: Catering Sales Director
Phone: 866/966-3009
Request more information
Camarillo lies at the heart of Pleasant Valley, cradled by the richly forested Las Posas Mountains. With arguably the best weather in the country, it's become one of the most desirable areas for living out the Southern California lifestyle. Wedgewood Sterling Hills perfectly reflects Camarillo's congenial attitude and idyllic surroundings.
The country road up to Sterling Hills winds past strawberry fields and orange groves and, as you crest the first rise, the handsome Sterling Hills clubhouse suddenly makes its appearance. The building is a sleek example of Mediterranean chic, with a red-tile roof and a double-arched portico supported by classical columns. Crowning the circular driveway is a grand stone fountain flanked by young palm trees. The glass-and-mahogany front door opens into a dramatic vaulted rotunda. Sunlight peeks through lofty arched windows, and an elaborate wrought-iron chandelier suspended from the cupola adds a nighttime glow. Further on is the banquet room and lounge, distinguished by an air of attractive refinement and an open floor plan. A working fireplace keeps things cozy, while a long row of windows treats guests to a vision of the emerald fairways of Sterling Hills Golf Course and picturesque countryside.
The outdoor wedding site is lovely, with the bridal couple silhouetted against the gently rolling greens. As the pink gauze of sunset veils the horizon, feathery clouds hover over the slopes along the valley's eastern edge, completing the romantic picture.
Cocktails are poured at the mahogany bar in the lounge, but guests usually wander outside to enjoy the central fountain terrace, set with the hors d'oeuvres display. A delicious dinner is served back in the banquet room and, as the evening progresses, guests spill out onto the south terrace facing the ninth hole. Here, lanky marsh grass and a thicket of reeds surround a small pond, from which a chorus of frogs often serenades the guests. For more traditional entertainment, place your band and dance floor on the south terrace and sway cheek-to-cheek under the stars.
Like the rest of Wedgewood's popular banquet centers, this one at Sterling Hills is not only beautiful, but convenient as well. Their thoughtful and comprehensive wedding packages are a terrific value, and make it easy for you to put your event details together.
Whether your wedding is a formal affair or a casual get-together of family and friends, the personalized service, appealing amenities and sophisticated country club setting of Wedgewood Sterling Hills will make you and your guests feel utterly indulged.
CEREMONY CAPACITY: The lawn holds 225 seated guests.
EVENT/RECEPTION CAPACITY: The site accommodates up to 225 seated or standing indoors.
MEETING CAPACITY: The dining room holds 225 seated theater style.
25% of the estimated total event cost is required to reserve your date. An additonal 25% is due 120 days prior to the event and the balance (based on your final guest count) is due 10 days prior. All payments are credited towards your final balance and are nonrefundable and nontransferable. All-inclusive, completely customizable wedding packages start at $43/person. Tax, alcohol and a 21–22% service charge are additional.

THE RELIGION OF THE ANCIENT CELTSINTRODUCTORY To summon a dead religion from its forgotten grave and
to make it tell its story, would require an enchanter's wand. Other old faiths, of Egypt,
Babylon, Greece, Rome, are known to us. But in their case liturgies, myths, theogonies,
theologies, and the accessories of cult, remain to yield their report of the outward form
of human belief and aspiration. How scanty, on the other hand, are the records of Celtic
religion! The bygone faith of a people who have inspired the world with noble dreams must be
constructed painfully, and often in fear and trembling, out of fragmentary and, in many cases,
transformed remains. Footnotes |
